James Figurine aka Jimmy Tamborello

Jimmy Tamborello (Dntel, The Postal Service) has a new project to be unveiled this summer, James Figurine is the name and the album will be called, Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake. Out July 11th on Plug Research (and in Europe on Monika Records late June), it takes the unique sound Tamborello has already fashioned with Dntel and The Postal Service and blends it with 'dancefloor oriented electronic music'.

Here's how Tamborello describes it:"In November of 2001 my band Figurine went on ashort tour of Germany with Lali Puna. Our label there, Monika, set us upwith a driver to get from show to show. She only brought three or fourtapes to listen to on the drives, mostly techno. I’d never paid muchattention to dancefloor-oriented electronic music, but listening to thesame tapes over and over again (especially Kompakt’s pop-leaning Total 3and some 7”s on Parfum) while driving through Germany made a giantimpression on me. So this record was supposed to be an extra melodic,minimal techno record with some sparse vocals, but my technopop tendenciesgot the best of me, the songs slowly filled up, and this is what I endedup with."
